Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 177 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for their professionalism, friendliness, and efficiency in detecting leaks. Many highlight the thoroughness of the service, with engineers often explaining the process in detail and keeping them informed throughout the job. The company's ability to quickly identify and often repair leaks, even those that other companies failed to find, is frequently mentioned as a key strength. Reviewers also appreciate the prompt contact and timely arrival of technicians, making the overall experience smooth and stress-free. However, some customers also noted dissatisfaction with the product and facilities, citing instances where a boiler stopped working after a visit and the company did not provide further assistance, or where technicians did not attempt to fix the issue after detection, leading to further issues. A few other people also felt that some technicians made assumptions about the cause of leaks without thorough investigation, leading to incorrect blame or an incomplete resolution.

You will not be disappointed

Joe came along yesterday to fix a leak where others had failed. He explained what he was going to do, the process for finding a leak and the repair he was going to carry out. Joe was friendly, approachable and knew his stuff. I have no hesitation in recommending this company to solving your issues. From Cherry in the office booking the works to Joe coming along and completing the works...it was a seamless process. Thank you

Fantastic Service - professional & tidy

I had a brilliant experience with SOS Leakage Detection from start to finish. The customer service was outstanding – Sherrie made the whole booking process so easy and explained everything clearly from the outset. The engineers, Luke, Andy, and Paddy, were fantastic. Such a great team – highly professional, hardworking, and they didn’t stop until the job was done. They left the area spotless afterwards too. Absolute grafters and a credit to the company. Highly recommend!

Water leak under concrete floor.

Accessed SOS via insurance company following discovery of a damp patch in spare room. Leak tracing engineer diagnosed leaking pipe under concrete floor, which had spread to adjacent room.
Required three visits, thorough investigations and tests meticulously carried out.
We would like to thank Jake (engineer) for his quick response, explanation and high standard of workmanship at all times, an asset to this team.
A highly recommended company, excellent communication at all times throughout this process.

Problem leak , discovered and repaired effectively and efficiently.

We had an ongoing leak that was discovered by Thames water , they did their bit up to our property replacing pipes but their was still a leak in the house so we used the services of SOS leak detection , the engineers were an absolute pleasure to have in the property, they were hard working, courteous and very efficient discovering the problem and rectifying it , our house is old and everything has been a problem for tradesmen in the past but the SOS guys adapted and overcame these issues and when I returned from work expecting issues they were happy to tell me that it had all been fixed . Talked me through the work and left the site in an extremely tidy manner . Leaving no mess at all. Thank you SOS I would recommend this company 100% .

Diagnosis investigation caused more problems

The actual visit and process for the detection seemed to go smoothly and the engineer went through a variety of leak tests to make the final diagnosis. During this time he was under the sink on a number of occasions and although we did not see exactly what he did there the following day we had another leak from one of the pipes there. We are assuming he disturbed a seal on a old dishwasher pipe left by previous owners which after 12 hours then broke and gushed out all over cupboard and kitchen floor. Luckily we were home and it was spotted immediately but we had to turn mains water off and pay for emergency plumber to fix it.

Dear Karen,

Thank you for your feedback, and please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience you experienced following our visit.

We were genuinely unaware of this issue, and we're very sorry that our investigation may have inadvertently led to a further leak. We completely understand how stressful and frustrating it must have been to arrange emergency repairs and be without water in the meantime.
Please rest assured that we take your comments seriously and will be reviewing this matter internally to prevent similar issues in the future.

Please give us a call and ask to speak to our customer relations team so we can look to cover the cost of the emergency plumber, as you shouldn’t have had to pay for this. We're grateful you brought this to our attention.

Kind regards,
SOS Customer Relations

Finding a water leak...

We live in a country cottage and had the nightmare scenario of a water leak in our heating system, that was causing our oil boiler to lose pressure. Our property has been extended meaning the leak could have been anywhere - under floors, hidden in walls etc! Fortunately, SOS had the kit and once the system was drained the leak was located within an hour! The service was first class & we would recommend them to anyone with a similar issue.
